Digging on Oak Island

Oak Island Treasure has been sent this photograph of new dig evidence on Oak Island. Danny Hennigar, of the Oak Island Tourism Society explained that the workings are located at the site of the old Triton Shaft - probably to protect it from further cave in. Danny also remarks that "curiously, there is also a clearing just up a bit from this shaft where they have removed all the trees."

In the photo, we can see the trees have been felled to secure the Triton site and clear an area of land - this will be exciting news to fans of the Oak Island Money Pit mystery who patiently await digging for the famed treasure to resume. This could be simple maintenance, but this work will surely have imaginations running riot!

Danny and his wife Yvonne were on Oak Island doing essential preparation work for this weekend's Explore Oak Island Days - an annual event which draws hundreds of people to Oak Island.

Are you attending? We'd love to hear your impressions of the weekend and see any photos. Please email us with your thoughts.
